The two of them had even gotten to know each other better in advance that day. The actress noticed his nervousness and instead comforted him, telling him not to be afraid, just let…

      by Volare Chapter 32: We Can Look Forward to Next Spring Together... "So, you're a boy." Before Sheng Mingqian could say anything, the nursing assistant couldn't help but exclaim, pointing at him, her tone several notches higher. Sheng Mingqian also hadn't expected it. That day, he'd touched the boy's long hair near his ear, and naturally assumed he was a girl. For this whole time, he'd been under the impression that he was a girl, so he always kept a normal and appropriate social distance, afraid she would feel…

      by Volare Chapter 31 I am... a boy... Ye Lai drank alcohol in the evening and was carried horizontally by Sheng Mingqian, feeling dizzy. After getting into bed, they didn't do anything, and he quickly fell asleep in Sheng Mingqian's arms. The bedside lamp was turned on low. Sheng Mingqian stayed awake, his palm resting on Ye Lai's head, looking down at the circular hair whorl right in the middle of his head. It reminded him of Coffee in the yard, curled up in a ball under the sunlight, its round, furry belly…

      by Volare Chapter 3 Fake The summer night wind was dry and hot, the air balled up, suffocating the throat and lungs, making each breath difficult. The roads were deserted, and looking out over the streetlights, the night was bleak and desolate. "Brother Hao, I'm in so much pain right now... Could you... come pick me up?" Ye Lai sat on a roadside stone, mouth open, gasping for air. He was drenched in a cold sweat, beads trickling down the back of his neck from his scalp, a sticky, uncomfortable sensation, his skin…

The person inside the room was not disturbed in the slightest. Ye Lai nestled in Sheng Mingqian's arms, sleeping soundly.
